Wrath and bloodlust
Born from the trauma and experience
An amalgamation of hate and malice
The beast within longs for carnage
To set its teeth in flesh endlessly
An amalgamation of hate and malice
May it run rampant with a hatred and a wild joy
Don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release
Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me
Desperate men do desperate things
Disrupted vision creates a reflection of only darkness
I hear them calling
The ones who long for death
They gave into desire and now they have nothing left
(They have nothing left)
Now is this the fate that has chosen for me?
So don't let go of what's left of your humanity
Blood must flow
I will not allow myself to be an animal
All I know is I must subdue the beast
Hatred grows and so does the temptation to release
Why am I subject to torment?
Was it not enough for me to bleed?
(To bleed?)
I've been branded and been handed a fate that wasn't chosen by me
(By me)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I won't retreat
I will not fall to a world that's up against me
When I'm done they will fear me forever
This is the cleansing, this is the purge
I will stand, I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat
This is my struggle
This is the fate of the branded one
(The branded one)
I will stand and I will not concede
I will not falter and I will not retreat
I won't fall to a world that's up against me
This is the fate of the branded one

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed.
Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso
Unbelieveable how these guys grew so big so quick, you think? Think further I say and bang my head off to their crushingly heavy brand of symphonic deathcore. And they deliver this live as well and hopefully are going to wreck metal venues near you soon - and ruin your neck oc. They earned everything they got. mourner
Pity that I could not find the deluxe edition with LoG's Laid to Rest. Nevertheless I wanted to add Elegy to my BC collection. It's unique as it is a delightful mix of symphony and deathcore. The vocals are just the perfect "5th element" that allows both styles to intertwine perfectly. Ben Duerr is the perfect vocalist for this role. The Elegy trilogy at the end is just the apotheose of death-gasm, it's a good trip down to memory lane as I've seen S.O.I. live last year! sachavonkarl74
